Problem with SSD MX100 & Crucial Storage Executive

Problem with SSD MX100 & Crucial Storage Executive

I have a Crusial MX100 256GB SSD. It is visible in the BIOS, is set as startup disk, I have now turned on AHCI, but also on the IDE in the program .... times are similar.I have read about the Crucial Storage Executive program, where Momentum Cache is turned on, and performance has been increased several times and I installed this program. However, it turned out that program does NOT DETECTS my Crusial SSD.How do I get Crucial Storage Executive to detect my SSD?P.S. I also changed the drive driver to MU02, which is the latest one.

Re: Problem with SSD MX100 & Crucial Storage Executive

I would probably try to connect the drive to different SATA port. Your mobo has two SATA controllers:

- Marvell 9128 with two SATA 6Gb/s connectors (GSATA3_6, GSATA3_7)

- Intel P55 with six SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2_0~SATA2_5)

In case your SSD is connected to Marvell port try to connect it to Intel port. This Marvell 9128 controller is not much faster than Intel's and it is likely that you woudn't notice any difference anyway.

You are great!!! I changed the port and now the AS SSD Benchmark appeared test result 43 times higher (Before Total =461, After Total = 19906)! Awesome. I'm curious how the speed of Pinnacle Studio 20 will change.

Re: Problem with SSD MX100 & Crucial Storage Executive

I am not sure but I think that Pinnacle Studio can possibly benefit from Momentum Cache Keep in mind however that all the Momentum Cache is doing is happening in your RAM cache buffer and that way or another you have to allow some time for Momentum Cache to finish all read/write operations that are actually performed on the SSD. See here how does it work
